Flanno's New Signings

[R&WTILLIDIE]

Next to no chance the Dragons will let the Couchmen twins go.
They both want to stay and the Dragons want to keep them.

Knowing the dumb merkin dragons. They’ll sign up the Feagai twins to make sure no one gets them and forget about the couchmans until it’s too late

Now that Carayannis has reported that Addo-Carr has been given permission to speak to other clubs, will wait and see if Flanagan will make him a formal offer for 2025.

how many spots do we have left? that might be an Issue

3 spots

Yep far to long clubs will be locking up their stars in the coming weeks.

So we will have the left - overs yet again ?

More then likely i hate the November 1 rule.

I went to the Reject Shop in my local suburb the other day and boy there were quite a few league players on display there just waiting to be picked up. I sent an email to the Dragons so I expect a couple of them will end up there.

He was trying to swap ravioli for ado Carr. I’d swap ravioli for a pack of cigarettes he’s that bad. Flanno allowed ravioli and lawrie to test the market and no one wanted them. That’s how bad they are

Rav did himself absolutely no favours with his last game he played for us, he was beyond bad.

We can't even give them away free of charge. Taking up valuable space in the squad - what a debacle.

I dont know if even sticking him in the forwards would work Dave, his defense is not that good.

His contract is until the end of 2026! What were they thinking? But put him in the forwards in reserves. He might leave. Or he might turn into Ben Creagh.

Rava's defence is ok if the opposing player runs directly at him but if the opposing player has a step then forget it.

some clubs have not heard of such a rule

On the fence about Addo-Carr, which means that if Flano wants him then I'll back him. 90% of NRL players do coke (and that might be too low of a number), so that's not the issue I'd have with him, but driving on it, as well as some other character traits.. well there's the issue I'd have with Addo-Carr as a person. As a player, some of the issues I can see are his age and his slighter frame. As a team with weak forwards, we relied on bigger backs this year, and our wingers in particular, to get us up field and out of trouble. Addo-Carr is not that good at this, so we have to compensate elsewhere, and at the moment there seemingly aren't any worthwhile forwards coming anywhere near us.

Positively, he gives us some much needed speed, an option to kick to in behind, experience in big occasions and the possibility of a lethal left edge combo with Val. Plus, he seems to be well-liked by his peers in the game, and that positivity and charisma around our group might be a good thing (so long as he keeps his head on - this will be Flano's challenge with him). Our group seem to sometimes get dragged into the doldrums and it can all turn into doom and gloom very quickly, especially after a loss or even within games when we're behind on the scoreboard. Someone to liven the place up a bit could be just what the players need.

Positives and negatives to his potential signing, so as I say, I'll back Flano's judgement

Dragons please leave Addo Carr at the Bulldogs - don't do them any favours!

90% ??? No way ! JAC is a solid dude and fast . I know for a fact he is an awesome person that cares for his mates . He would be a huge asset

 

[Get2dachopper!]

I’d offer Hunt for JAC, then use Hunts money for Trindal for 2026. Sharks can’t afford both Trindal and Hynes in the halves.

 

[R&WTILLIDIE]

Agreed. One of the worst performances of any player I’ve ever seen.

 

[TheRev]

I have learnt to lower my recruitment expectations again and again as the year has gone on.. missing RCG was a real moment also.... I've just let go now.. whoever we can sign.. by all means go for it Flanno.. we have 3-5 signings to go yet.. and I'll settle for upgrades of any type.

Agree Rev. Normally I’d say hell no to JAC but let’s be honest, us supporters can’t on one hand be so picky about who we sign and not sign then in the other breath piss and moan that we can’t make the finals and we’re useless etc.

At the end of the day my opinion means Jack shit so if Flanno says yay or nay then that’s good enough for me as a supporter

 

[Budpower]

Ado and Finau would be a lethal wing combo with speed plus
